Heroku one-click deploy?

[SachaG]

I know very little about how the whole thing works so maybe it's not applicable in this situation, but the other day I came across Slackin, which has a very convenient one-click deploy for Heroku.

So I just wanted to suggest maybe doing the same kind of thing for txgh. It could come in pretty handy :)

Hi @SachaG ! I just got a version of this project that runs on Heroku. It's a bit more complicated since you need to upload your config settings to Heroku instead of a YAML file. And you need to still setup web hooks. I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for as far as a 'one-click' deploy. I'm happy to discuss further if you are still interested.

Thanks, but I ended up going with LingoHub over Transifex actually :)

something like https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-button along with a default-ish template with ENV variables may do the trick

@jdoconnor Excellent suggestion! I'm going to clean up this repo a bit and make it easier to get up and running...and run tests for debug. In the meantime I'll keep this issue open.

hi ! Do you think you would be able to do that one click install ?

[matthewjackowski]

@ffmad Yes I think we are headed in a good direction for that. Currently the tricky part is that we rely on a number of configuration files for the service to work. And these files require you to add your own specific information...if we added 1-click right now, there would be a gap because you would not be able to provision a working system...you would still need a 2nd step to update those files.

If we can eliminate or greatly reduce that dependency within the 1-click process then I think it will work well. I hope that makes sense!
